I finally got a writeup on the spacer strips put together, so for those of you that were wondering what to do with those this should help. They pop into the stainless weatherstrip channel and push the weatherstrip just a little bit out toward the glass.

Has this project gotten off the ground? I could use a couple sets.

Yes just PM him. Works great, way more tight likely then when new. I have to re adjust my window again, after installing I could not get it up and in as far with all the up and in adjustments, but have not had time to work on it. Hoping I can get it as tight as it was before with more adjusting.

Will these kits work on a 1971 Javelin?

They won't, but there was another thread on the forum where kits for the 71-up cars were being made.
I'm making more of these kits now, so if anyone is interested in a kit let me know via PM and I'll add you to the list. Thanks, Chris

Well, it looks like it'll be a few more weeks on the stabilizer kits, as the polyurethane resin I use to mold the rollers isn't behaving properly. I think the resin may have absorbed moisture from the air in the container, hard to say. I've order new supplies though and will be back at it soon.
Sorry for the delay guys - I'll keep you posted.

*** POSSIBLE PROBLEM ISSUE FOUND WITH 69-70 KITS ***
We just had an issue with the kit fitment on a 69 car, where the socket head cap screw that holds the new front travel stop was too long and contacted the door sheet metal when tightened, damaging the door. This only happened on one side of the car, not both, so it must be related to the location of the window channels in the door, which evidently can vary alot from car to car. IF YOU HAVE ONE OF MY 69-70 KITS AND HAVEN'T INSTALLED IT YET PLEASE HOLD OFF ON INSTALLING IT I'm going to revise the front travel stop a little and optimize the front screw length so that when installed the screw can't protrude beyond the channel, that way there can never be an issue. I'll send out new parts to everyone with the 69-70 kits that I can identify from my PM box. This isn't an issue on the 68 kit as the front channel setup and front travel stop are completely different. Sorry for the trouble everyone, hopefully we can catch this early and prevent hurting anyone's cars. Chris
